Texas American Res- UPRC Ambush 41-27 Gas Extraction Facility, Aurora, Colorado

Texas American Res- UPRC Ambush 41-27 is a gas extraction facility situated in Adams County, Colorado, approximately 3.3 miles northeast of Aurora. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 211130, which covers natural gas extraction. This site is part of the broader Denver-Julesburg Basin, a significant oil and gas producing region in the United States. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation's 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it likely involves wellheads, separation equipment, and gathering pipelines to transport raw natural gas to processing facilities. The scale of operations is typical for a mid-continent gas field, with multiple wells contributing to regional supply. This facility plays a role in supplying natural gas to the Front Range urban corridor, including the Denver metropolitan area. Its proximity to Aurora, a growing suburban city, underscores the importance of safe operational practices and community engagement. The site contributes to the energy infrastructure that supports residential, commercial, and industrial consumers in Colorado.

The facility is located in the semi-arid climate of eastern Colorado, where water resources are limited and air quality can be impacted by ozone precursors from oil and gas operations. Proximity to the Denver metropolitan area increases the potential for population exposure to emissions. The region is also subject to occasional seismic activity, though induced seismicity from wastewater injection is a more common concern than from gas extraction itself.
